We urgently require a ????, that if a marriage ends in divorce within 10 years, that ???? is ????? to return the money.
That’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard in years. The Shadchan is not responsible for the couple’s marital problems.
“But,” you’ll say “it is his/her fault. The Shadchan should never have put them together if they were going to fail.”
Baloney. The Shadchan doesn’t force anyone into a marriage. The primary people who have to take responsibility for a marriage are the bride and groom. If they go into a marriage that is doomed to fail from the start (which is the only scenario where you might, conceivably, say it’s the Shadchan’s fault) then it’s their fault for not saying “No. This marriage isn’t going to work. I’m not going forward.” They have to take primary responsibility – not the Shadchan.
